Glen David GoldBest-selling author Gold (Carter Beats the Devil) returns with this rich, expansive novel with a dazzling cast of characters, both real and fictional.  Opening in 1916, Sunnyside begins with the day Charlie Chaplin was spotted in more than eight hundred places simultaneously, an extraordinary delusion that forever binds the overlapping fortunes of three men.  

With an astounding grasp for historical narrative and detail, Gold brings to life the legendary entertainer as well as Wild West stars, doomed soldiers, and the loves of their lives.  Sunnyside is a lighthearted yet profound novel about dreams, ambition, and the dawn of the modern age.

Praise for Glen David Gold's enormously popular debut Carter Beats the Devil:  

 

Michael Chabon

"In his first novel, Glen David Gold gives a top-hat-and-tails performance worthy of a veteran trouper . . ."

New York Times

"An enormously assured first novel."
